Fasadis, not jihadis

Terrorism has no place in Islamic doctrine. The Koranic term for the killing of innocents is ‘fasad.’ Terrorists are fasadis, not jihadis. In a beautiful verse, the Koran says that the killing of an innocent is akin to slaying the whole community.

–M.J. Akbar, Indian-Muslim editor of Covert, an Indian investigative journal, on the recent massacre in Mumbai, India
